Tottenham Hotspur defender Pedro Porro is reportedly on the radar of Real Madrid and they could look to make a move for him in the coming months.
They need to sign a quality long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal and the 25-year-old Spanish international could be the ideal alternative. He has proven his quality in English football with Tottenham and he has the attributes to succeed in La Liga as well.
The player has now spoken about the rumours of a move to Real Madrid to MARCA, and he has revealed that the interest from the Spanish club is a compliment for him, and it shows how hard he has worked on his game. He also labelled Real Madrid as one of the best clubs in the world.
He said: “My friends send me the rumours, it is a compliment… It is the result of a job well done that one of the best clubs in the world has noticed me”.
It is fair to assume that the player will be attracted to the idea of joining them if there is a concrete proposal on the table in the coming windows. Real Madrid are widely regarded as the biggest club in the world and most players will be tempted to join them.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can convince the player to continue in North London instead. The opportunity to play for Real Madrid will be quite hard to turn down. They could provide him with the platform to fight for major trophies every season. In addition to that, he would get to play alongside world-class players every week.
While there is no doubt that Tottenham have an attractive project and talented squad, they are not quite at the level of Real Madrid yet. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. The defender is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition and he has a long-term contract at Tottenham. Real Madrid will have to be a premium to get the deal done.
